In the world of façades, an extensively discussed topic is ‘Façade and Fire’, it is worth understanding some basic principles that make it necessary to have fire protection in façades in the first place including the cavity and chimney effect!
Typically, there are two methods of handling façade waterproofing, face sealed and rainscreen.
In the case of a face sealed façade, it depends on 100% of the rainwater has to be shed, however, due to weathering effects after a few years, seals get cracked creating leakages.
A rainscreen façade is a kind of two-stage construction; the inner wall is a load-bearing insulated wall that is protected by an outer skin. The outer skin protects against rain and moisture and maintaining a space between the cladding and building wall prevents water from infiltrating the building structure.
A rainscreen is one of the most effective options in the market today if it is designed and installed in an authentic approach.
benefits of using a rainscreen façade over face seal systems:
1. Superior waterproofing
2. Thermal efficiency
3. Condensation control
4. Long-term durability
